![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/be2bbe86-85cf-4f2c-b2de-03a80dbb2715.jpeg?format=webp)
Alright fellow tech enthusiasts, mark your calendars for our next Munich Tech Sauna June meetup! We're venturing to the Monte Mare Schliersee Sauna, nestled close to the picturesque Schliersee, offering an exclusive sauna experience in a stunning setting.
We're straying a bit from Munich, but fear not, the journey to Schliersee and the Monte Mare Schliersee sauna remains conveniently reachable by train from Munich main station.
Join us on June 15 for a day of sauna bliss. Many of us will be starting our steamy sessions around 12:00 or possibly even earlier. If you're new to our community, give us a shout in the #meetups channel on Discord, and we'll make sure you're welcomed and guided by some friendly community members.
A heads-up: Monte Mare Schliersee sometimes requires a special reservation, so it's wise to double-check their website at https://www.monte-mare.de/schliersee/.
Prepare for sauna heaven! Monte Mare Schliersee boasts a variety of saunas and top-notch regular infusions. After indulging in the heat, cool off with a relaxing swim, lounge around, and perhaps enjoy a refreshing beer. It's shaping up to be the ultimate Munich Tech Sauna gathering!
Munich Tech Sauna May Meetup at Therme Erding

![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/41496334-da31-40cd-8f49-fcbfbf21bebb.jpeg?format=webp)
For our May meetup, Munich Tech Sauna will meet at the world's largest sauna and SPA area: Therme Erding. As May 9 is a public holiday in Bavaria, we will meet already at 2PM at the entrance of the sauna area.
While this is an absolute highlight, it is quite essential to meet at the entrance or communicate BEFORE to arrange a meetup within the sauna area. With 26+ saunas it's easy to get lost or never find us at all :-)
Needless to say that Therme Erding will provide an amazing sauna experience with world class infusions, a bar in the pool for a fresh beer and many more great experiences.
Full address: May 9 at 14:00 at Therme Erding, Thermenallee 1-5, 85435 Erding, Germany - easy to reach by public transport via S2 and the stop Altenerding (not Erding!) and a 10 minute walk.
No worries, this is not a tv. It's a display but not a common tv...

Munich Tech Sauna goes Cosima Wellenbad

For our official March meetup, we will meet at the Munich-local and well accessible Cosima Wellenbad. This place features a fresh and modern sauna area and some of our community will remember the great meetup we had there last year - we pretty much filled up the "Bio-Sauna" for great chats and the sauna infusions we experienced there were also quite good (for SWM).
According to their website, there will be two infusions at 20:00 and 21:00 - before we can try out the Bio-Sauna, steam bath or the 'Stollensauna' in the outside area... as well as have chats or visit the pool!
We can exit the sauna area and get a drink/food at the restaurant, accessible from the swimming pool area.

Feb 15 | 1730 sharp at entrance area or later inside | Michaelibad
What's special? The spacious sauna on two floors is a visual delight β bathed in light and kept in warm pastel tones. On the ground floor, you can cool down in the large cold pool and a small outdoor garden between sauna sessions. Upstairs, two relaxation rooms and the outdoor terrace await you.
Saunas:
- Finnish Sauna
- Sanarium
- Steam Bath (with some luck with salt/sugar application)
- Erd-Loft-Sauna - the highlight of Michaelibad, a large, wooden sauna great for having a chat or just sweating quietly (we will see)
Munich Tech Sauna January Meetup
We're kicking off the new year with an easy to reach Munich-local sauna: the Westbad. The sauna now features a larger sauna area with several steam rooms, saunas , cold basins and more. We can step out into the swimming pool area for grabbing a drink, too!
Jan 18 2024 - 1730 at the entrance or cu inside. Say hi and get in touch if you are joining the first time - might be hard to find us. Although we will most likely try to make all the hourly sauna infusions and talk loud about custom keyboards...
Reflecting on Munich Tech Sauna 2023
Dear Munich Tech Sauna Family,
Reflecting on 2023, our journey has been extraordinary β a year of saunas, connections, and unforgettable experiences! From the inaugural meetup at Seebad Starnberg to deep discussions and the world of custom ergo keyboards, our community thrived. Unique POAPs/NFTs symbolize each meetup, capturing our shared history on the blockchain.
Our diverse conversations expanded beyond sauna walls to Discord, Mastodon, Lemmy, and Matrix, showcasing our tech-savvy and nerdy spirit. While embracing diversity, we acknowledge room for improvement, aspiring to a more inclusive community.
Let's share our favorite sauna experience of 2023. For me, it was a day at Monte Mare Seesauna in Tegernsee β a summer meetup filled with great chats, refreshing beers, invigorating infusions, and the satisfaction of timely arrival after a day of cycling.
As the year ends, my holiday wish is to spread the word about Munich Tech Sauna. In a world craving genuine connections, let's expand our community. Choose channels that resonate and bring kindred spirits into our community.
Don't forget the ongoing end-of-year raffle. If you own the Dantebad collectible, you could win a special present. Excited to distribute them at our final meetup on December 21 17:30 at PhoenixBad.
Gratitude to each of you, the heartbeat of Munich Tech Sauna. Your enthusiasm, diversity, and warmth make our community exceptional. Here's to more saunas, connections, and unforgettable experiences in 2024.
Wishing you a cozy holiday season and a steamy start to 2024!
Warm regards, Sven | @[email protected]

The revxlp is using a shift register - that's the trick
36 keys / 10u revxlp with miryoku
![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/9a28aa33-2312-4fa9-a640-48b030bcd2dd.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=128)
![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/9a28aa33-2312-4fa9-a640-48b030bcd2dd.jpeg?format=webp)
I built the rexxlp 12u a while ago but honestly 36 keys and miryoku is all I need. So when the 10u came out, thx @[email protected] I had to build it.
It was a tiny challenge for me, due to not properly following the guide. My big fat learning was that the tape on top of the sockets really really makes sense - I had some shorts between pins and then some socket pins were not even connected after I pulled out the board (XIAO ble) with too much force. Now I know.
What do you think?
Done. Love it. thx @[email protected] and @[email protected] for your help - and thx goes to frobiac from Munich for jumping on a mental health call and debugging the issues. it works so well now. my fav keyboard!
SOLVED
all solved... I had 2 dead pins due not really following the tape socket explanation in the readme. and when I pulled out the xiao, the socket came half way out. I now did solder a new xiao and checked all pins, now all good... phew! thx again! it chose the 12u miryoku firmware and it works
Just adding the back of the PCB - you can see some missing diodes there. For now I am pretty sure that is OK, as it's what JLCPCB has assembled as in the BOM/Place file.
I checked connections from XIAO to the board and also took off the bottom plate, alu, just to be sure there is no shortcut. When plugging into usb-c and turning on, the green led charge indicator is on, seems to charge. I was previously able to connect via ble, too.
All right, here is my build run, it is a success and should build a basic miryoku for revxlp - details here https://github.com/hansamann/miryoku_zmk/actions/runs/6761313214
When I double press reset to have the USB storage of the XIAO appear, it will bring up an error "can't complete operation because some data in ...uf2 can't be read or written. But I think it copies the 359KB of uf2 over correctly. Then Finder of course shows an error as the device resets into the keyboard mode... all expected, right?
Unfortunately it still behaves weirdly. The outer three columns don't do anything. the 4th column top is a 'w' then below r and then x... leaves me clueless. I used JLCPCB with the assembly service. On the back of the pcba, I can see some D's are not places, for example DU D_U2 / D_U4 / D_U3 / D_U9 / D_U8 - but I assume that is all OK. I added the not swap sockets ONLY on the back as the assembly should do the rest on that side of the PCB.
If you could point me to a ready made build for the XIAO-nRF52840 with a default keymap I am happy to try that out.
will try building with defaults... which I pretty much did to be honest. just mac style copy/paste is special. I will take off the alu back and chec the xiao ble connections. thx
Miryoku for revxlp 10u
![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/b73763ca-59cf-4990-b85f-2945edbc83f5.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=128)
![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/b73763ca-59cf-4990-b85f-2945edbc83f5.jpeg?format=webp)
Great progress on #revxlp 10u now that batteries arrives. This time, even with pogo pins...
Hardware assembly almost done. Just got some software issues now - like always I try to get #miryoku on and did build the uf2 file already (the same way I did for the 12u version... hmm), copied over. Now a few keys seem to work but emitting very unexpected (not my miryoku colemak mod dh) keys... Do we need a special miryoku build?
Would you mind making it 36 keys, 3 Thumb keys? Then I am in to try it out... Looks like a great board.
Too bad :-) it was a gif but I think Lemmy converted it automatically...
Munich Tech Sauna November meetup at Dantebad
Video
Click to view this content.
The Munich Tech Sauna November meetup will take us to yet another excellent SWM sauna location, the Dantebad in Munich. This sauna is said to be among the most attractive SWM saunas in Munich. The highlight is a sauna garden with the flagship Blockhaussauna.
https://www.swm.de/baeder/schwimmen-sauna/dantebad
Nov 16 2023, meet on-time 17:30 at the sauna entrance. Once you arrive, immediately get a 4h ticket to avoid standing in line.
There will also be a convenient an large cold water pool for a proper cool down, as well as a steam bath and a 60 DegC "Sanarium" for those that need a bit less heat. We can expect some salt application in the steam bath at 6:30pm and a hourly sauna ceremony.
All new joiners: let us know in discord that you are coming. We still have a few free t-shirts left... but we need to know you are coming. It also makes meeting way easier...
Join Discord via this invite. Say hello and participate in our tech discussions!
I might be able to bring some MetaBrewSociety beer - still got plenty left. I just hope the sauna is fine with that.
Munich Tech Sauna October Meetup

![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/bef3e35e-8568-413d-b457-d3d421892ddf.jpeg?format=webp)
October will take us to a new #techsauna location - Olympia Schwimmhalle. Let's give it a try and enjoy the snow cabin, which is unique in Munich! They also have a lot of different saunas inside and outside as well as hourly cermonies. cu soon!
Oct 19 - 17:30 - Entrance of Olympia Schwimmhalle
18:00 first sauna ceremony
18:30 Salt application in the steam bath
19:00 sauna sauna
... visit the CafeBar for a beer? Or do they only have coffee? Let's figure that out!
20:00 try out some more sauna Fitness-Sauna?
21:00 final sauna session...
I am interested in the 3x5+3 version and would love to get Miryoku on it, plus of course the track pad needs to work, too. Is there an easy way, like a qmk workflow build that achieves this? Or another guide that describes it?
I still would love to build it but jlcpcb shows these mounting holes as not available... any better idea than just trying again every week?
Seebad Starnberg Sauna on Wed, Aug 16 2023...
Posting just in case some more want to join. We will start around 1730 and arrive (if db works well) at 1715 S Starnberg.
Awesome, you deserve thx so much. I will try again soon as some of the components are not available, indeed. Would be nice to get it assembled fully.
Thx again - just printed the right side and was initially a bit worried about the snug fit, but after pushing it in a bit it simply fits perfectly!
Just fyi - bottom plate Gerber's for FR4 shows a 404 for me...
Would you say 10u PCBs ready to order? Would order with jlcpcb assembly...
Just checking - files/parts/build guide is not yet available, or did I miss it somewhere?
